28f, 5’4”, CW:250, GW:150. I’m on my second big weight loss push. A few years ago, I became fed up and started making some drastic changes to my diet and workout routine. I ate paleo and consumed 1400 calories a day, and added running for an hour 5 days a week. I pumped up my working out by adding weightlifting a few days a week as well. I lost about 40lbs in 4 months. After such quick weight loss and rapid changes in my diet, my gallbladder failed and I had to have emergency surgery to remove it.
Over the next 2 years, I had to change how I was eating and wasn’t able to work out as frequently after the surgery. The weight came back, plus some. I’ve done a lot of mental work this last year and feel like I have identified my emotional eating triggers. I’ve used a few apps for tracking that were extremely unhelpful and pushed my emotional eating. I recently started using an app that I really like using and doesn’t just focus on calories.... but, I’m not sure if the goals set on the app for daily eating are going to help me lose weight. I’ve been following the app’s plan since the end of April and have only lost 5lbs. I’m getting really frustrated with myself and can feel the emotional eating triggers creeping back up.
Currently on the plan, my calorie intake is max 2414, carbs: 224g, protein: 58-70g, and fat: 75g.
Most days, I eat 1600-1900cal, carbs: 180, protein: 60, fat: 50. So, am I doing this right?
